What is Drywall?

Drywall (sheetrock, wallboard, gypsum board) is a gypsum core faced with paper, forming a safe, smooth surface for interior walls and ceilings. It’s versatile, affordable, and ideal for renovations.

Advantages of Drywall

Water & fire resistance: moisture‑rated and Type X options improve safety in baths, basements & garages.
Quick installation: faster and cleaner than traditional plaster with predictable timelines.
Durable & serviceable: strong, repairable, easy to alter for future upgrades.
Cost‑effective: fewer coats, efficient materials, excellent value in renovations.
Customizable: curves, niches, and design details with flexible boards and trims.
Clean finish: level 4–5 finishing for premium paint and lighting conditions.
